All The LAdies Say WORLD PREMIERE at Lincoln Center's Dance On Camera Film Festival was well attended with great feedback/commentary. Our screening was special since three of the

We thank Violet Galagarza, Stretch, Big Tara, Mighty Mike, Robin Dunn, black Robb, Kim Cook Alice Mizrachi, Nay Marie, Hakai, Focus, BBoy Shea, Mateo, Mona Lisa and Fatima Kafele for adding your energy to the screenings.

Thank you to Jose for giving us space to reconvene uptown at his lounge Apt 78 for the after party!

The Urban Movement Tour
was successful with many competitions and pioneers such as grand Wizard Theodore and Grand Master Caz were present at Roseland. The band "Revolutions Per Minute" RPM with La Roka as the lead vocalist was a surprise and an interactive moment when the breakers came up on stage. A foto is taken to capture a reunion with Full Circle dancer Tweetie at the 2 day event at Roseland.

Ashani Mfuko is a well known dancer/instructor who has her own internet radio show and she interviewed Rokafella on the week of the screenings of the film to help audiences get to know her work and the idea that you can be an independent artist.
